Plain-English explanation

CSMS 61264910 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on July 5, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "UPDATE: Early Deployment of SE20 EDA Mandate". CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

CSMS # 61264910 - UPDATE: Early Deployment of SE20 EDA Mandate U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 07/05/2024 11:33 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 61264910 - UPDATE: Early Deployment of SE20 EDA Mandate On July 25, 2024 , U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will deploy an update to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) that requires the submission of the Reference Identifier Qualifier Estimated Date of Arrival (EDA) in the SE20 record for all de-minimis shipments filed as an entry type 86 submission. When the Reference Identifier Qualifier is EDA , an estimated date of arrival must be provided for the Reference Identifier. This should be reported as MMDDYY. This development will be available in the Automated Commercial Environment certification environment on July 11, 2024 . The ACE Cargo Release Implementation guide v36.1 with SE20 Record Update for EDA can be accessed at: https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/draft-ace-cargo-release-implementation-guide-v361 This programming was originally scheduled to deploy as part of upcoming programming to enforce the $ 800 daily threshold for de minimis shipments. CBP has split this deployment into two releases, so the trade community can program and test the programming related to the EDA prior to deployment of validations to enforce the daily de minimis threshold. The new deployment schedule is: Release 1 (SE20 EDA): Cargo Release Only CERT: 7/11/24 PROD: 7/25/24 Release 2 (validation to enforce $ 800 daily aggregated threshold for de minimis shipments): Cargo Release, Manifest and Truck CERT: 7/25/24 PROD: 9/28/24 Questions regarding the above updates can be directed to CBP via e-mail at ecommerce@cbp.dhs.gov .

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 61264910?

CSMS 61264910 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "UPDATE: Early Deployment of SE20 EDA Mandate". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.

When was CSMS 61264910 published?

CBP published CSMS 61264910 on July 5, 2024. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
